whats the anti d injection?

Ant D is a blood injection, given to mum's who's blood is type negative. When they take your blood samples at booking in one of the things they check is blood type - I am O Neg so I need Anti D at 28 & 34 weeks, then after labour - excited rach is Rhesus Negative too.

glad everything is going well rach.
Dont worry about the anti-d, i had mine on monday and it didnt hurt one little bit (i got it in my botty!) although it did take a minute or so for her to put in, (she said it would be really sore if she injected it all at once) but other than that it was painless, i'd say getting blood taken was more painful, you'll be fine hun .

Its for all rh- not just O. I have to have it to and i am A rh- , but with all the injections and blood samples i have to have its not such a scary thought for me.

...and antid injection not looking forward to that though

Rach, don't worry. Its a tiny little sting in your bum. I had my first one a while ago and I thought the anti-d injection would be a lot worse. Afterwards I said to the nurse 'is that it?'. I also have to have another one at the end of January.
